So basically I shouldn’t bother watching Wrestlemania or the WWE Network right since it’s all fake
You have to give the WWE credit for taking a match that people were excited for that came with a layup story and destroying almost all that excitement within a few weeks
Bravo WWE. Genuinely impressive

Vince Russo is alive and well I see.
Step away from the keyboard, Ronnie.

I quit watching, and yet somehow I'm still astonished at how bad WWE is.

*Ronda walks out of the match at Mania and tells Stephanie F*** you as she’s going up the ramp* Cole: If the armbar isn’t part of the equation what are they gonna do? Improvise?

It feels like Ronda is *just* figuring this out for herself and she's really mad about it.

I have no insightful commentary about the dubious nature of what this does for the company and specifically the women's division; I just immediately thought of this when I saw the title: Never go full Titans Ronda.

They literally had one job: take a couple of months to hype up their undefeated, real life fighting credentials-bearing champion against their red hot, fan favorite, badass number one contender.
This is what they've done, instead.
I get it when people on the inside at WWE say how hard it is to write so much content, but stuff like this is what people can point to and say "Really?" about.

If I am casual UFC fan or a Minivan Suburban Mom Casual Fan what is more likely to get me watch WM? A well crafted storyline that has a historic significance as the 1st Women's match to Headline a Wrestling Event aka a sport/competition I don't watch Hearing about Ronda going apeshit on social media,to a point where you have no idea if she is gonna shoot and beat the **it out of these WWE women? The tv story may border btwn LOLTNA and Russo bad level,but they are gonna get some eyeballs on this and Becky and Charlotte's will actually benefit from this Casual UFC fans dont care. WWE is fake and Conor McGregor would kill them all in the same day. Seriously, they hear "WWE" and tune out.

So, is this Jeff Jarrett and Dana Warrior's contribution to "creative"?

This is what they've done, instead. I get it when people on the inside at WWE say how hard it is to write so much content, but stuff like this is what people can point to and say "Really?" about. But the great unknown is still whether the social media stuff is specifically WWE pushing them to do this, or completely off the bat of the talents themselves (mostly Rousey, since she's the one playing the fake card). If it's the former then, of course, they've gone right off their rocker. If it's the latter, then all WWE themselves can really try and do is reel them all back in and do somewhat of a salvage job for us, and that throws us even further into the great unknown because that could entail ANYTHING. And I say "for us", because all of us here on the internet at this board or Reddit or other places, we can't avoid it even if we wanted to. I'm not entirely certain how much of their TV audience is aware of this stuff that means that the feud even needs salvaging in the first place. Rousey may have 3.66 million Twitter followers, but I doubt that every single one of the 2 to 3 million that still watch RAW are also following her or are even aware of her comments. But then you run into the next issue. Most of the fans that'll be at WrestleMania... THEY'LL KNOW what's happened. The question will be whether they didn't care about any of these comments and are still going to be hot for the match... Or that they DID care, so now they don't.

Six months ago if you told me Ronda would have burned through all of her good will and people would be cheering Roman...

I don’t honestly care if it’s a work, shoot, worked shoot, shootity worky work, a whole entire inside baseball panel discussion, whatever... Ratings are falling. Attendances are falling. Both have been going down for a DECADE now. So much so that the only three entities keeping this company alive right now (or will be) are NBC Universal, Post Disney merger Fox and the nation of Saudi freaking Arabia. They’re either cocky and letting anything happen because they will have enough backup cash to get them through the next 5 years or they’re that bad at their job that everything that can go through will and have no reason to regulate or plan things with forward thinking. If they’re letting Ronda rip into the business that’s paying her a lot money to hope it draws people in or even if they’re not and Ronda’s going out on their own with no relegation from WWE, this whole thing is making me glad I pay money for indies now. I’ll say it a thousand times if I have to: I shouldn’t need a goddamn f***ing Wrestling Observer subscription to know what’s going on in a company with FIVE HOURS of weekly TV. Exactly. This shit isn't hard. Why do we need go through these hoops to book a simple build to a logical match.
